46 Best Mexican Restaurants near Fruit Cove

“I’ve been eating at La Nop since 2002. The best one, IMO, has always been the one on Beach Blvd. I moved away a few years back and was in town this week to visit friends and family. Met up here and the food was good. It’s not the same as the Beach location(though I’ve heard that’s all changed since ownership changed hands) but it’s still good. The prices are waaay higher now, but, that’s a trend everywhere. Nice atmosphere, great service. Queso is amazing. I am always chasing the high of La Nop on the early days.😍“

“Food and service are great. Love this place“

“Love dining at Mariachi's for amazing Mexican food. We love the food at Mariachi's, always fresh, always delicious. We especially love bring greeted at the hostess desk with a smile by Milana. She is so pleasant and knows and greets us by name. Mariachi's ls doing it right from the front door all the way to the kitchen and it shows by the number of people always there enjoying a meal.“

“Ty R was lovely & very friendly! The food was amazing! Was fun celebrating my 21st here thank you for a great experience and lovely food 😌!!“

“Good food and portions, only problem is that everytime we go, I have to tell them to please turn down the (annoying) music. The employees have it loud for their benefit but my wife and I could hardly hear each other plainly. There were other patrons in the restaraunt that I know had the same issue but no one speaks up. Music is supposed to be BACKGROUND music - not a concert. Many other restaraunts do the same.“

“This food was amazing!! The most authentic i’ve had since being in Mexico. I would 100% recommend this food truck to everyone!! The guys who were working were super kind and the service was very quick. 10/10!!!“

“I enjoyed my meal here. The shrimp fried rice was good on its own without the sauce. And I really enjoyed my cocktails. I would recommend this place.“

“Toda la comida bien buena and the tóxico MICHELADA was the best part 🤩“

“We have been to Rosy's a number of times and have always been pleased with the experience. We generally go for weekday lunch so it is not crowded but there are still other patrons so the restaurant is in action but not rushed. Drinks come quickly. The chips are fresh and medium crunch, so not the real thin ones that break and not the very thick that are too hard. The salsa is consistently good with just a little kick and always has visible cilantro, which I prefer. The meals come out in a reasonable time. We've tried several items and all were to our liking. I think their grilled chicken is marinated well and has a very good taste, plus if an item doesn't come with steak or shrimp you can still upgrade to it. We've never checked the restrooms so no comment. We've had the latest server more than once and he does an excellent job, and if I remember correctly that all servers we've encountered are pleasant and efficient. The dining room is clean and spacious although a tad outdated in decorating, but I am there for eating and not from Architectural Digest. And yes, parking can be a challenge in that strip mall but since Rosy's is on the corner, go to the side for more places. Overall we were happy with our latest experience and we will definitely visit a number of times in 2025.“

“Best Mexican food in town“

“The whole place was perfect. For starters, as you enter you see all the beautiful decor they have placed everywhere. Very beautiful interior design. Then we were greeted and sat inside. The menu was just the right size. Not ridiculous with all these wasteful additions. Just right to the point. Chips and salsa was given to the table along with our drinks. Chips and salsa were free of charge! The food was delicious. Absolutely recommend to anyone with Mexican food craving. Not to mention not too bad of a price. 43 bucks for everything we got. Compared to places I've spent 70 at with half the value in all that I mentioned above. 10/10“

“This is by far one of the best Mexican restaurants in Jacksonville. My wife and I learned about this place a week ago. We have now been here a few times. The staff is honestly one of the most professional, pleasant, and patient individuals we've come across in a long time. They make us feel as if we are walking into a family or very good friends house. I am not Mexican, (I am Ecuadorian) however I grew up in Los Angeles and enjoy mexican food very much. Their dishes are really fresh, they taste great, and the portions are very good and affordable. I love that they are able to accommodate my child, and made sure that his Torta was not only made the way he wanted it, but it also tasted amazing. The choco flan is out of this world. I would also like to recognize Jacobo (owner), he is one the most wonderful, pleasant individuals, I have ever met. When he and my wife talk about the different dishes their parents and family made for them, I can clearly see the enjoyment they experienced.“

“So I don't usually post, but just walked out of los loros restaurant after eating half of my lunch and finding a cockroach in my food to which the wait staff reaponded "oh."“

“for me is the best place, I like the food, the people are nice,“

“Great food at great prices. I was really pleased and will be going back to try something else on the menu!😀“

“So I have been in Jacksonville for 3 years. Im a Texan and I want to keep the standard the same for quality and quantity in a meal as any place I love in my home state. I have to say this is it, this is the one. The portions are huge, the taste of each plate we tried was excellent. We did not try any of the seafood options. I have to say this is now my Mexican food place. Arturo was the best and made our experience exceptional. The happy hour top self margaritas for $6.99, you could not beat are not watered down.( I only had 1 ) my hubby is driving home lol. This is the place to try out for sure if you love Mexican like I do.“

“I am so grateful to find this restaurant. The food is incredible and my husband and I have a new favorite place!“

“First time there a week ago food and service was perfect! I brought another friend 5 days later but this time the food was barely lukewarm. Service was good but my friend did not want to complain that her chimichanga was cold. Sometimes you just don’t feel like it. I didn’t care for my dish which I wouldn’t order again which was quesadilla with chicken and pineapple. I couldn’t taste the pineapple. I’ll go back but order something different.“

“We had the BEST meal with the best service tonight! Bernice was the sweetest and so accommodating and we enjoyed talking with the owner Paco. Super clean and fresh, delicious food, we will be back!!!! The Carne asada and enchiladas were so so good!!!!“

“Great tasting food and large amount for the price. Highly recommend“

“Best tacos I have, outside of California!!“

“Excellent food, excellent service from Omar, fun atmosphere. A must try!“

“excelente servicio y la comida super rica. voy cada vez que puedo.“

“Mi restaurante Favorito Amo Sus comidas y mi bebida en especial todos son muy amables conmigo y mi familia excelente personal lo recomendaría 100% sin duda“

“We are here for the first time since they got the new management! I see huge improvements! Food came out in a fast and timely manner, I didn’t have to beg for refills, and they have a kids color page now! If they had it before I never got it! So happy with the new service.“

“So I’m a huge foodie.. this spot is my GO-TO spot for street tacos. I get the same thing every time: 3 care asada tacos (sometimes I’ll get their chorizo—YUM) with onion and cilantro. It comes with a salsa verde sauce and a hot sauce as well. First off, their corn tortillas are homemade (!!!!!!!!!) Secondly, the meat is always seasoned nicely. Third, if I could eat here everyday I would. There’s a slight language barrier, but that’s better in my opinion because I know that it’s authentic as it could get. I love this damn food truck. 10/10“

“Super clean place! Fast service and great food!“
